1952: David Petraeus, a four-star general who had more than 37 years in the United States Army before becoming director of the CIA in 2011, is born in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York. He only served as CIA director just more than a year, resigning on Nov. 9, 2012, citing an extramarital affair that was discovered in the course of an FBI investigation.
